If you feel self-conscious about your vaginal area, you are not alone. Many women are born with enlarged, excessively long, or asymmetrical labia minora (inner vaginal lips). Many more experience stretching and sagging of the labia due to childbirth, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. Dr. Tracey Stokes is a highly trained, experienced plastic surgeon who performs vaginal cosmetic surgery (labiaplasty) at our Fort Lauderdale practice to enhance the appearance of the outer vagina. Labiaplasty can also relieve the discomfort that occurs during sex, sports, or other physical activities.
Am Am I a Candidate for Vaginal Cosmetic
There are two main reasons why women seek labiaplasty: cosmetic and functional. Being unhappy with the way your labia looks can affect sexual relationships and lower self-esteem levels. Enlarged or stretched labia can also lead to physical discomfort during exercise or sexual activity.
At our office in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Stokes will assess your candidacy for labiaplasty during a private consultation. She will perform a directed examination, explore your reasons for seeking vaginal cosmetic surgery, and provide you with all of the information you need to make an informed decision.
What What Does the Labiaplasty Procedure Involve?
Vaginal cosmetic surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis and takes approximately one to two hours to complete. During the procedure, redundant or stretched labia minora tissue is removed to create a rejuvenated appearance and alleviate physical concerns.
For women with excess clitoral hood tissue, a reduction of the clitoral hood can also be performed as part of a labiaplasty.
